Cannot get Excel Report to display on Internet Explorer

Hi,
We have an issue with displaying Excel reports on IE on some client machines. A window just pops up and closes. The reports run fine on Firefox and I was able to run it on IE earlier. I had this report working before on all application servers. Now I cannot get output on browser from dev. and test app servers after a small fix in the report. But I can still run the production version.
Note that I can get the Excel output when I use 'getjobid' from an url :
http://server:port/reports/rwservlet/getjobid1887?server=xxx&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel
This is the code to output the report:
SHOWDOCINFO :='/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||JOBID||'?server='||REPORTSERVER||'&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel';
The funny thing is my colleague can run the report on his pc without any problem. Is there some issue with the browser setting ?

Yes. I use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT in the calling form. The window that pops up is an IE window. Yes we both use IE 7.0.
I noticed today that if I uncheck the 'always ask before opening this type of file' on the File Download window, I can get it to work. How do I change this setting?

A bi publisher report is not displayed in internet explorer

Hi
I am having a problem with one of my computers. It has a problem when a user is trying to access a bi publisher report.
The part of the window when it is supposed to display the report it is saying "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" .
It displays the part when the user inserts the filters, but when he presses the 'GO' button I am having this error message.
The problem is locally, because in another computer this user can access this report without a problem.
Can you please help me to solve this issue?
Thank you and best regards

Try comparing the settings of the Internet explorer on the machine you are having trouble with running the report vs the computer that you are successfully able to run the report. As this is computer specific, this should be either related to IE settings or missing components like flash etc installed on the machine.

-Amith.

RoboHelp 9 Favicon not displaying in Internet Explorer 8

I'm using RoboHelp 9 and am unable to get my favicon.ico file to display in Internet Explorer 8. It works fine in Firefox and Chrome but not in ie.
I've also tried messing around w/ the whstart.ico file in template_skin directory as w/ RH 8, but that doesn't work either.
Anyone else experiencing this or know of a solution?
Thank you,

OS X Server Wiki pages do not display in Internet Explorer 9

I recently did a clean instalof OS X Server 10.8.2 on my Mac Mini using the recently released version 2.2 (build 166) of the Server App. Today - after enabling the Wiki - I noticed that the body of the Wiki pages no longer display on Internet Explorer 9 - only the Please Login banner displays. The Wiki Page body shows only as a squashed down blank rectangular box near the top of the screen. This happens on all of the PC's that I have tried - both internal and external.
There were a number of Wiki Enhancements listed in the release notes for Version 2.2 of the Server App. These enhancement appear to have made it impossible to acess the Wiki using Internet Explorer.
The Wiki pages are fine using Safari (Mac or Windows) - Firefox (Mac or Windows) and Chrome (Mac or Windows). The problem is only with IE 9.
Out of curiosity - I restored an image of my server from last week - prior to the Server App 2.2 udpate - and Wiki (from version 2.1.x) pages work fine in Internet Explorer 9. (At this point I'm not sure if it is just IE 9 - or other versions of IE.
Additionally - if I disable the Wiki - and just enable the default website - the default website displays fine in IE 9 - but as soon as I click on "change password" at the bottom of the page - the Enter Old and New Password window - also does not display - similar rectangular box - with just Change Password text in it.
So the problem is not just with the Wiki. Unfortunately I do not have any websites set up yet to test with.
Here is what I see (in IE 9) on the main Wiki page as of version 2.2 of the server app:
Is anyone else experiencing this? I will probably open a support issue - because my brand new Mac Mini is covered under AppleCare.

If I save the page as a web archive and then open it MS Word - I see the following text at the bottom:

Content of site does not display in Internet Explorer

I am designing the local Budget rent a car site in the Virgin
Islands using Dreamweaver CS3 and the help of CSS.
In the beginning it displayed well on every browser even
Internet Explorer. Then as I fine-tuned it I must've changed
something in my coding, cause now only the front page displays in
Internet Explorer and all the other pages only show a white block.
I've been sitting on this issue for a few days already, so
any help would be much appreciated.
The test site is

Password: v8tqnpcmmz

Honestly, it looks OK to me in IE7. Is that the browser you
are using?

FavIcon isnt Displayed in Internet Explorer

Hi,
I Have Replaced the OriginalFavIcon With my FavIcon in The portal in the Following Location.
/usr/sap/<SID>/JC01/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/sap.com/
com.sap.engine.docs.examples/
servlet_jsp/_default/root/favicon.ico.
It is Displaying in Mozilla But Isnt Displaying in Internet Explorer(IE).If anyone has any idea plz Reply ASAP.
Greetings,
Kumar

Hi Kiran,
it's not possible to show the favicon into Internet Explorer.
It may be viewed only in Mozilla (Firefox).
This is due to the browser itself. (You can simply check that in the IE any favicon is showed)

I cannot play any Quicktime movies on the Internet Explorer. What can I do?

Hi, I always check in the movie trailer page on apple to enjoy some movie trailers, but, since a time ago, I cannot see any movie trailer on the internet explorer, when I got into the movie's trailer, it show a white question mark (?) above the Quicktime simbol (Q)and the trailer won't show, I uninstalled and reinstalled again the quicktime 7, but I still cannot see anything.
Can anyone help me to solve this??? There are now like a thousand trailer I haven't see because of this!! lol
Thanks,
Pentium 4 Windows XP Average user of Itunes, Ipod and Quicktime

I've posted this elsewhere, but I wasn't sure how to link your question to the other one....
I had the exact same problem and came across some instructions that helped me, so you might give these a try yourself:
1) open QuickTime Preferences
2) click the Browser tab
3) click the MIME Settings
4) select Miscellaneous - Miscellaneous file formats
5) uncheck Flash media (if it's already unchecked, then click the Use Defaults button at the bottom)
If that still doesn't fix the problem, continue with this:
1) within QuickTime Preferences, click the File Types tab
2) select Misceelaneous - Miscellaneous file formats
3) uncheck Flash media (or Use Defaults button if necessary)
For some reason, these two lists aren't linked to each other. So when you change one, it won't change the other automatically. There might be a feature to link the two, but I'm not aware of it at this time.
Also, be sure you have the latest Macromedia Flash Player (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash)
Hope this helps!

Getting bobj is undefined when report is viewed in Internet Explorer 8

Background
We are running a web application on a server that has "BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 FP 2.6 Update" installed on it.
The server uses the 1.1 .net framework.
This web app can generate Crystal reports and display them either by exporting to pdf, or by using the CrystalReportViewer control.
(The CrystalDecisions references in the sln for the website are using version 12.0.1100.0.
The web app is a custom web app that is not defined in iis at the default level. It lives as a virtual website under the default website and uses the crystalreportviewers12 virtual directory.)
when the browser displays a report by exporting to pdf, it works just fine.
Here is our issue:
When the browser displays a report by using the CrystalReportViewer control using Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), it generates a javascript error:
'bobj' is undefined
Here are a few peculiar things on this:
- the report displays ok for other IE8 users (so the issue only occurs for select IE8 users).
- the report displays ok in ie6.
- One notable observation is that IE8 has different sets of options amongst browsers. We compared 2 machines that didnu2019t work, with 1 machine that does work. All 3 sets of IE8 settings differ in one way or another.
Does anyone know if this is an issue that that can be fixed through an IE8 setting? Or does it need to be fixed elsewhere? Thank you!

Hi Brownie,
We only support IE 8 in Compatibility mode. Try selecting that option in the Browser and test again
Thank you

Cannot Print Excel report in Excel Online

Hi,
I have a Excel report that retrieves Project Data (using the OData feed). The report is housed in the Reports document library created with a PWA instance. When using Excel Online to view the report in the browser, I receive an error message saying that
the report cannot be printed (from the browser). Instead the message states that the Excel file should be opened in Excel.
Has anyone seen this before? Is this a limitation of utilizing Excel reports in Project Online?
Thanks,
Roland

From what I can tell, only highlighting (selecting the cells) and using the print selection works. You can't set the print area in Excel (desktop).

Cannot open an Excel 2010 workbook by using Internet Explorer 8.0 in sharepoint 2010

When am trying to open a Microsoft Office Excel 2010 workbook from a Web site by browsing to the location with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0, you cannot open the file. Instead, you receive the following messages:
Some files can harm your computer. If the file information below looks suspicious, or you do not fully trust the source, do not open this file.
Would you like to open the file or save it to your computer?
If you click Open, you receive the following error message:
Could not open 'http[s]://<var>Server_name</var>/<var>File_path</var>/<var>File_name</var>.xls'.
After you click OK, you receive the following error message:
Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'http[s]://<var>Server_name</var>/<var>File_path</var>/<var>File_name</var>.xls' There are several possible reasons:
The file name or path name does not exist.
The file you're trying to open is being used by another program. Close the document in the other program, and try again.
The name of the workbook you're trying to save is the same as the name of another document that is read-only. Try saving the workbook with a different name.

Hi Ramesh,
Please install the hotfix package and test the issue again:
